How it feels

A heartfelt visual novel about community and dreams, with a story-driven, dramatic feel as you navigate character interactions and a word-based narrative.

What players say

Players call it a deeply personal take on Chinese high school life, with a story rooted in the author's real experiences. It has no player choices, a happy ending, and a small cast, but the voice acting and realistic writing resonate strongly. Some find the pacing uneven and the environmental descriptions awkward.
